Victims of marauding at Dubrovka terror act to go to European Court for increased compensations
On October 27, the Moscow City Court refused to increase the sum of payments to the victims of plundering of hostages' belongings at the Dubrovka terror act and to compensate their moral damage; thus, having rejected the cassation complaint against the decision of the Zamoskvoretski Court, who had ruled to pay 130 thousand roubles under two claims.
"The cassation panel of the Moscow City Court has rejected the complaint in full," said Igor Trunov, a victims' advocate. He has explained that the claimants asked to collect 500,000 roubles of moral compensation and 60,000 roubles of missed profit under each claims in favour of the victims. "We're going to appeal against this decision. Most likely, we'll address the European Court of Human Rights," the advocate has added.
